Crafted from a luminous silver Stephen Walters silk brocade, this waistcoat offers a more understated interpretation of occasion dressing whilst retaining all the drama and richness of ceremonial formalwear.
The cloth carries a subtle cross-hatch texture through its woven surface, creating a sophisticated interplay between matte and reflective silk as it moves in the light. Rather than relying on bold colour, this piece achieves its impact through tone and texture, making it exceptionally versatile for weddings, race meetings and black-tie occasions alike.
Its cool silver tones pair beautifully with morning dress, charcoal tailoring, dove grey suits and crisp monochrome styling, lending a distinctly modern elegance while still drawing upon traditional British formalwear codes.
The shawl lapels are cut generously to give a wide sweeping line down to the 6 button fastened waistline. 
 
The silk itself is woven in England by Stephen Walters, the historic Suffolk silk mill established in 1720 and long associated with some of Britain’s most prestigious ceremonial and royal textiles. Their fabrics are celebrated for both technical excellence and weaving heritage, making them a natural partner for formal garments of this calibre.
Produced exclusively as a collaboration between Thomas Fortin and House of Luciano, each waistcoat carries both makers’ labels inside as a mark of its limited and highly specialised production.
Finished with a pale ice-blue satin back and traditional adjuster fastening, this is occasion wear for the gentleman who understands that true luxury often speaks through texture, cut and quiet confidence rather than excess alone.
